COMMUNICATIONS

Dispatchers perform a full range of radio and telephone operational duties in our 24-hour facility. Using a computer-aided dispatch (CAD) system, emergency calls are received from the public requesting police, fire, medical or other emergency services.

Our highly trained dispatchers must determine the nature and location of the emergency in accordance with established protocols and procedures. Other responsibilities include maintaining contact with all units on assignment, maintain status and location of police and fire unis, monitor direct emergency alarms, answer non-emergency calls for assistance, and monitor several complex public safety radio frequencies.
The Dispatcher is often the first contact with the public when an emergency occurs. All Dispatchers receive both textbook as well as hands on training and must be certified in CJIS, NEMS, SAFE and complete The Board of Ethics training before they are allowed to work on their own. To reach our communications center for emergencies, dial 911 from any phone. For all non-emergency calls, you may dial (225) 694-3737.
